Spain - The Revolt Continues

Spanien - Der Aufstand geht weiter

Two years after the mass protests of the «Indignados» (indignants) on Madrid's Plaza del Sol, young Spaniards protest on the streets every day to express their desperation and anger. Today there are already over 6 million unemployed, whilst the board chairmen of Spanish companies continue to draw the highest annual salaries in the whole of the EU (on average EUR 1.1 million). The government has enacted new laws that open the floodgates to further mass redundancies. It is doing nothing against the evictions that have cast thousands of families into homelessness. And as if that wasn't explosive enough, corruption scandals in every political camp, including the royal family, continue to pile up. Meanwhile, a whole new generation is looking for exits outside of this political system.
